I’m in agreement that it’s rude, and would ask first before I took anything off a tree I didn’t plant.
I’m wondering, however, if the previous owners allowed “everyone” to take the fruit. It’s possible that people knew it was okay, and aren’t even aware that you’re not the same people – they’re just used to being able to go ahead and take it. That still doesn’t make it right, but perhaps that explains why people are doing it.
